Anthony "Lazer" Lazar hails from Minnesota and has been a fixture in the poker world for over 30 years. Initially playing recreationally through his 20s, he transitioned to professional play after moving to Las Vegas in his early 30s. Lazar's most notable achievement is winning the Ante Up Regional Main Event, which earned him over $50,000. Additionally, he has made three final tables at the World Series of Poker and has amassed over half a million dollars in lifetime winnings.
Beyond the felt, Lazar is involved in the collectible card industry. Known for his enthusiasm for mixed games, he encourages the poker community to explore this often-overlooked variant. His nickname, "Lazer," originated from childhood mispronunciations of his last name, a moniker that has endured throughout his life, though it also applies to the lazer shots into left field he is also known for crushing on the baseball diamond.
